<div class="moz-cite-prefix">To easily and automatically convert
html text (and other format) to mediawiki syntax (and also other
format), you can use pandoc under GNU-Linux. cf. here :
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/">http://johnmacfarlane.net/pandoc/</a><br>
<br>
The command line is just like this one :<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">
<pre class="code">pandoc -f html -t mediawiki -o output_file_mediawiki.txt input_file.html</pre>
</blockquote>
<br>
It is also possible to convert html to mediawiki using the
following website :<br>

<pre wrap="">We already have a forum: <a moz-do-not-send="true" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewforum.php?id=29">http://forum.openstreetmap.org/viewforum.php?id=29</a>
But almost nobody uses it, the mailing list is much more popular...

The most important is that what results from any discussions be
written in a wiki page so that the said increasing number of
mappers knew how to map instead of spending hours trying to find
instructions that have been written in mail or not.<br>
It's a bad experience to spend many hours searching non existing
instructions, to do the same as what is already done and to be
scolded because what was already done it's not the right way.<br>
It's straightforward to copy&paste the conclusions of a HTML
e-mail discussion to a HTML Web page, but, alas, it's a bit more
complicated and long with the Wiki formats, especially those that
don't even have a button to insert a <newline>.<br>
